Navigating to a Waypoint
GPS is all about marking positions as waypoints and navigating to them using the receiver’s steering
guidance and map displays. We’ve already seen how to use the ENTER/MARK key to store our present
position, so it’s time to move on to the fun part—going to a destination.
The NAV/MOB key is the primary tool used to select a destination Waypoint, TracBack (pg. 45), or a
Route (pg. 49) to navigate. The NAV key can be used in two primary ways:
• Pressing NAV once displays a list of options from which you can select ‘Go To Point’, ‘Follow Route’,
‘Follow Track’, ‘TracBack’, or ‘Stop Navigation’.
• Highlighting an on-screen waypoint or map item as a destination directly from the Map Page and
pressing NAV allows you to graphically select points to “Go To”.
When you begin navigation to a waypoint, the GPS sets a straight-line course to that point. The unit
draws a Course Line on the display between the current GPS location and the destination waypoint. You
may use the Map, Compass, or Highway Main Pages (or confi gure any of the other Main Pages) for naviga-
tion. For this exercise, let’s use the Compass Page. You may use the “Practice 1” waypoint you created on
the previous page or any other waypoint you have created.
Going to a waypoint:
1. Press the NAV key.
2. Highlight ‘Go To Point’ and press
ENTER (or press the DATA ENTRY shortcut number).
3. Highlight ‘Waypoints’ and press
ENTER. This displays the ‘Find Waypoints’ window. From this window you
can select waypoints by “Nearest” or “By Name”. Select the ‘Nearest’ tab using the
ARROW KEYPAD.
4. Press the
ARROW KEYPAD UP or DOWN to scroll through the list until the waypoint you wish to navi-
gate to is highlighted. Press
ENTER to display the waypoint Review page.
5. With the ‘Go To’ button highlighted, press
ENTER to begin navigation.
Press the PAGE key and select the Compass Page.
